Product OverviewJoin the SOLID storage revolution - Because spinning media is winding downThere’s an easy way to speed up business-critical workloads that cripple hard drives: The Micron® 5200 series of SATA SSDs. Engineered on industry-leading 64-layer 3D NAND, the Micron 5200 SSD delivers best-in-class performance and capacity on the same proven architecture as the 5100 series.

Designed for virtualized workloads that power your business, such as OLTP, BI/DSS, VDI, block/object, media streaming and more, the low-latency Micron 5200 series of SSDs eliminates storage bottlenecks with fast, consistent performance – and a lower total cost of ownership.

A single Micron SSD allows you to get 3X more performance than an entire rack of 24 10K RPM hard drives.* Imagine the impact — across your entire data center.

Why Micron for SATA SSDs?

Better SSDs Come from Better NANDFrom silicon to system, we create the memory and flash storage that powers the data center and makes your workloads faster, more reliable, more efficient, and more cost-effective.

Fast. Trusted. Easy. SecureBuilt on the proven architecture of our award-winning 5100 series that’s been qualified and used by top OEMs, hyperscalers and data centers, the Micron 5200 series of SSDs is easy to qual. and install. FeaturesLeading PerformanceIndustry-leading sequential reads/writes paired with 95,000 IOPS random reads and best-in-class random writes up to 33,000 deliver a nearly complete performance advantage over hard drives and competing read-intensive SATA SSDs.

Leading Capacity and TCOCapacities up to nearly 8TB — all on industry-leading, 64-layer 3D NAND for a cost-optimized SATA platform that’s uniquely competitive against hard drives.

Leading Reliability50% more reliable than the typical SATA SSD, with the industry’s lowest annualized failure rate and MTTF (3 million hours versus the industry average of 2 million hours).

Same Trusted, Proven ArchitectureSame controller. Same components. New NAND. The result is easy quals., better performance and better value.

*Based on IOPS performance of 24 hard drives (300GB, 10K RPM, SAS) compared to a single 960GB Micron 5100 PRO SSD in an OLTP workload environment. Results do not reflect differences in capacity and hard drives were not short-stroked. Actual performance may vary. For conceptual purposes only.

The arrival of the solid-state drive (SSD) has revolutionised the speed at which modern PCs perform common tasks. This is because SSDs have no moving parts, compared to larger, bulkier mechanical drives, thus they store information on memory chips. This means that accesses, reads and writes are many, many times faster

One of the greatest advances for PCs in recent years has been the introduction of solid-state drives (SSD). These storage drives hold information on flash memory that is managed by a processing chip called a controller. Advantages of SSDs over traditional spinning disks are numerous, from silent operation, lower power to significantly faster performance.
